lépcskorlátok

Lepcsokorlatok, commonly translated as stair railings or banisters, are safety features found along staircases in buildings. Their primary function is to provide support and prevent falls for individuals using the stairs. These structures typically consist of a handrail, a balustrade, and supporting posts. The handrail, positioned at an accessible height, allows users to grip for stability. The balustrade, often made of vertical spindles or panels, fills the space between the handrail and the stairs, preventing people from falling through the gaps. Supporting posts anchor the entire structure securely to the stairs or the adjacent wall.

The design and materials of lepcskorlatok vary widely depending on architectural style, building regulations, and aesthetic preferences. Common materials include wood, metal (such as iron, steel, or aluminum), and glass. Wooden lepcskorlatok offer a traditional and warm appearance, while metal ones can be ornate or modern and minimalist. Glass balustrades provide a contemporary look, maximizing light and a sense of openness. Building codes often dictate specific requirements for lepcskorlatok, including height, spacing of balusters, and load-bearing capacity, to ensure user safety. They are an essential component of both residential and public buildings, contributing significantly to the safety and usability of staircases.
